The feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump reached an alarming peak this week as both men went for the kill shot in a series of statements and social media posts.
According to Breitbart, as Elon Musk takes flak from the massive MAGA base for going against Trump like he did, even the SpaceX billionaire's own father admitted that he believes the president will "prevail" in the public feud.
During a recent interview on Al Arabiya English’s "Global News Today," Musk's father, Errol Musk, made the bombshell admission that he believes Trump will ultimately win in his fight with Elon Musk.
Errol Musk admitted that he asked his son to do his best to make sure that the fight with President Trump "fizzles out" sooner than later.
Errol Musk, who isn't often mentioned in the headlines, made his stance on the situation crystal clear, even calling the feud between his son and President Trump "silly."
"Do you think this is a bump in the road, or do you think this is the end of the road for the relationship between your son and Mr. Trump?" Host Tom Burges Watson asked Errol Musk.
The father replied, "Just a bump in the road. It will fizzle out in a few days," adding, "I haven’t spoken to him, but I did send him a message, you know, telling him to make sure this fizzles out."
He added, "I think there’s a bit of tiredness here. But, I would say that, in some ways, you know, it’s good that the older person sees that even at the highest levels, people struggle. You know, it’s not just in your home with your own family, but at all levels, people struggle to find common ground with each other. And, I think that’s all we’re seeing now.
"Trump, of course, will prevail because he has been voted in by the majority of the people in America. I’ve just spent three weeks in America. The people on, I would like to say 80%, but actually 100% behind Trump."
Errol Musk made similar statements to other reporters, essentially echoing that he believes the situation will die down sooner than later.
Many across social media commented on Errol Musk making excuses for his son.
"Ah yes, the ol’ 'he’s just tired' excuse… classic. We’ve all said wild stuff after a rough nap, right? Glad Dad stepped in with the PR patch-up. But hey, even papa Musk knows what time it is: Trump’s not just coming out on top, he lives there," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Elon certainly underestimated how hard this was going to be. But both him and Trump lost their cool though. Elon shouldn't have posted that, and Trump should be working better with DOGE. But this will work itself out. Trump and Elon will be friends again. Good job Errol."
Hopefully, the two men can find a way to mend fences.
